Thank you everyone in this thread for suggestions. I personally learn by practice. Writing stuff. I've read good things about the "Modern Perl" but I'll check out Conway if people here are vouching for it. Also, Perl's manpages actually teach you the language - another advantage of an older language from a time when people knew what manpages were and how to write them. They're not OpenBSD quality, but they're pretty good from my experience.
